Feeding our family on our farm...what it takes to build a garden

What happens here

Once the composted manure is distributed, a V-track tractor equipped with a landscape rake ('Rakey Bobbie') is used to further smooth and level the garden bed. This action helps to integrate the freshly spread manure with the existing soil and previous amendments (wood chips), creating a more uniform surface. The presenter mentions that an upcoming rain will help to moisten and settle the materials, preventing excessive dust during the next day's tilling process. This step is crucial for preparing a level surface for effective tilling.

Goal: After the manure is spread, the garden bed is smoothed out using a V-track tractor with a landscape rake to prepare for subsequent tilling.
